EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, captured by Russian photographer PA Milevskii in the late 19th century to early 20th century, depicts an elderly woman in an oval-shaped chair, flanked by a young man in a civilian suit and two standing girls. The image is part of the private archive of Sergei Mikhailovich Chashchin, a significant collection of photographs and documents chronicling the establishment of a firefighting service in eastern Siberia during this period. The photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of these individuals, whose expressions convey a sense of warmth and connection. The young man, likely an apprentice or a member of Chashchin's family, gazes directly at the camera with a confident air, while the two girls, perhaps his granddaughters, look on with curiosity and admiration. The elderly woman, dressed in a formal, turn-of-the-century dress, offers a steady and reassuring presence, her direct gaze suggesting wisdom and experience. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich history of Siberia and the important role that firefighting played in the region during this time. The collection of materials from Chashchin's archive provides valuable insights into the early days of Siberia's firefighting service, including information about the organization of the team and the firefighting equipment used. This photograph, with its timeless composition and intriguing subject matter, is a testament to the enduring power of photography to capture and preserve history.
